"Stealth" joined our horse family this weekend. He is a 9 year old Welsh Gelding that we are leasing for dd#2. He is a perfect size for doing Mounted Pony Games (see www.usmga.us) that the girls are learning.
We enjoyed introducing him to our 15 year old Tennessee Walking gelding and our 5 year old Gotland gelding (see www.kokoweb.com). Horses are so straightforward. They have their fights right up front and determine the societal order. "Bay", the bigger TN horse, quickly re-asserted his rights as boss and kept the newcomer near him, seemingly shunning his Gotland buddy. But after a time, they all went back to a gelding's first passion - finding the perfect blade of grass.
